On october 14th Italy's lower house had its 53 vote of confidence after a dispute over routine budget provision. The vote came out 316 to 301 in which berlisoni barely escaped a loss and a forced resignation. However such a narrow majority means that another vote of confidence might do the trick or at least cause ebough of an outrage for early elections.Many supporters of burlisconi seemed to only have voted for him to save the center right government during a time of crisis. There have been many scandals and much market pressure against Burlisconi and his coalition. Burlisconi called the vote to quell the rebellion in his own party , after some of his administartors failed to pass a routine budget bill on time. Many were surprised by Burlisconi's lack of ideas to fix the economy and now are rising against him. Many italian editorials went so far as to say Burlisconi is paralyzed by fear at the rebellion in his own party and the prospect of early elections. The prime minister is currently facing trial on corruption, fraud, and paying for sex with a minor. Many of Burlisconi's ministers have began speaking out against him and President Georgio Napalitano even has turned againts the troubled Burlisconi stating that Burlisconi needs a ¨credible response¨ to Italy's growing problems.
1. will Burlisconi survive to see early elections?
2. Have the protests in Rome been enough to secure the demise of Burlisconi
3. Is Burlisconi using the slot of Prime Minister to temporarely escape prosecution?
